KURDISH CAMELHAIR
Northwest Persian Antique Rug

(High-Decorative) In this highly idiosyncratic tribal rug, a warm camelhair field is sparsely populated with artfully stylized cruciform medallions and blossoming plants. The spirited use of ivory and frequent color shifts effectively adds to a sense of visual depth, the original intent of the weaver to create a seemingly three-dimensional canvas. Among the Kurds, this intentional color variation or "abrash" is called "the path of the sun” alluding the numerous shifting hues that occur in nature as the sun tracks across the sky each day. Its condition is fabulous with even, heavier wool and camelhair pile.
